Expanding a business foothold and/or branching out is hardly irresponsible, in my opinion (As a prior stock holder). | |

Then again Google has irresponsibly spent shareholder money on frivolous ventures. It's called capital expenditure. Investing money in the hope of receiving it back plus more over a pay back period.
Every network is the same, the difference is only in the pay back period and whether it's achieved. | |

By who's definition? There are plenty of people that would take this service if it were $30/mo like it should be. I know I would. People with the 'not needed' argument seem not to understand the idea of multiple simultaneous connections doing multiple tasks. The real sentiment is 'We aren't done squeezing you so you will wait until WE profit from upgrading you'. | |
